Working from photographs, portraits can be commissioned no matter what the distance. Shipping Pastel Paintings Crafty Tip If you're ordering a pastel portrait, make sure it's framed behind glass as soon as possible to avoid smudging. I suggest not using fixative spray as this discolours the pastel.

Photography Lighting Crafty Tip When photographing pets the lighting and focus are the two most important things. Firstly use natural light, avoid using a flash at all costs, not only for the "red eye" effect but it also often scares your pet. Second, take a close up shot, using a sharp crisp focus.

	I am a pet portrait artist in the UK specializing in paintings of dogs, cats, horses, domestic animals and people portraiture. I am also a landscape and architectural painter. I accept commissions from anywhere in the UK and abroad as I usually work from photographs. Photography Lighting Crafty Tip To get a good photograph of your pet it is best to take your photographs outside in the natural daylight. Try not to take your photo’s in direct sunlight. On a sunny day take the picture with the sun behind you and get the subject in the shade.
